We got the requirement to configure logfile monitoring on Linux server.

configuring text based monitoring on Webservices Application Servers logs present under the following path:

/usr/jboss/jboss-soa-p.4.3.0/jboss-as/logs
Please share script and steps to monitor the logfile

Thanks for your reply,

Now i can understand that we can use the check_log file plugin, and could you please suggest me that, how and where we can place the Warning and critical value and word pattern.

You can also use the -h flag when calling the plugin from the command line to show usage examples.
